Unable to Enroll Windows Device

We’re trying to enroll a Windows device into Hexnode, but during enrollment it throws an error saying the device is already enrolled and asks for co-management. We double-checked and there’s no other MDM configured on the device. Has anyone faced this before? How do we fix it?

Is there any way for onboarding remote employees without touching the device?

Hey everyone, I need a sanity check on our onboarding process. Right now, when we hire a remote employee, we buy a Dell laptop, ship it to our HQ, I manually unbox it, image it, enroll it in Hexnode, box it backs up, and ship it to the user. It’s expensive and adds like 5…

Ability to choose color of device details on wallpapers

There is currently no option to change the font color for device details. Would it be possible to please allow for that to be something that we can change? The default red is too bright.
